Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the brakingsystem enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
The FCA provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The FCA brake control is automat- ically canceled, when risk factors
disappear.
FCA sensor (Front Radar +
Front View Camera)
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor or sensor cover are clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris.
CAUTION
The driver should always paygreat caution to vehicle opera-tion, even though there is nowarning message or warningalarm. The warning of the FCAsystem may not sound if otherwarning sounds are activated.
WARNING
The FCA cannot avoid all colli-
sions. The braking control can-
not completely stop the vehicle.
The driver is responsible to
safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
or pedestrians ahead, the speed
of the vehicle ahead, and the
driver's vehicle speed. Certain
conditions such as inclement
weather and road conditions
may affect the operation of the
FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.

Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
The Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
allows the vehicle to descend from a
steep hill without depressing the
brake pedal. It slows down the vehi-
cle under 8 km/h (5 mph) and allows
the driver concentrate on steering
the vehicle.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• The DBC defaults to the OFF posi-
tion whenever the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position.
• Noise or vibration may occur from the brakes when the DBC is acti-
vated.
• The rear stop light comes on when DBC is activated.
OQL055117
OQL055116
WARNING
Always turn off the DBC on nor-
mal roads. The DBC might acti-
vate inadvertently from the
standby mode when driving
through speed bumps or mak-
ing sharp curves increasing the
risk of a crash.
WARNING
The DBC is a supplemental sys-
tem only and is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. A
driver should not solely rely on
this system when descending
from a hill and should always be
ready to apply the brakes
depending on road and traffic
conditions.

cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
If you move the lever down (to SET-)
at increased speed, the cruising
speed will be set again.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating tem-
porarily, because the speed is not con-
trolled automatically at this time even
if there is a vehicle in front of you.
Smart cruise control will be tem-
porarily canceled when:

Driving your vehicle
A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointingupwards due to overloading in the
trunk(tailgate)
- While making turns by steering
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal accord-
ing to the road and driving conditions
ahead. Your vehicle may accelerate when
a vehicle ahead of you disappears.
When you are warned that the vehicle ahead of you is not detect-
ed, drive with caution. When vehicles are at a standstill
and the vehicle in front of you
changes to the next lane, be care-
ful when your vehicle starts to
move because it may not immedi-
ately recognize the stopped vehicle
in front of you.
In this case, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem is designed to detect the lane
markers on the road with a front view
camera at the front windshield, and
assists the driver’s steering to help
keep the vehicle in the lanes.When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.
